There will be stories of exploration and adventure when the Underwater Tour visits Murdoch University on May 10, featuring four leading underwater photographers from around Australia and South-East Asia.

“Each photographer has their own specialist niche, and all will share enriching stories of exploration and discovery from behind the lens,” Underwater Tour co-founder Tim Hochgrebe said.
